Coralville's new Trader Joe's grocery store is slated to open this fall, the Iowa River Landing announced Wednesday.

In a post to Facebook, the district announced the store, planned for the southeast corner of Interstate 80 and First Avenue, is expected to welcome shoppers in October.

"We know a lot of you are anxious to know when the new Trader Joe's will be opening," the post said, also noting that there are "more details coming soon."

The store's opening was first announced this past November. That announcement said the store will be about 13,000 square feet and is being built through a partnership between San Diego-based OliverMcMillan and Iowa City's Hodge Construction.

The Coralville store will be the second in Iowa, joining the 6305 Mills Civic Parkway location in West Des Moines that opened in 2010.

The store also carries more than 3,000 items under its own private labels like Trader Jose's, Trader Ming’s and Trader Giotto’s. In its announcement, the company said it purchases from manufacturers more often than from distributors.

Wednesday's announcement comes days after another grocery store chain, Hy-Vee, announced it expects to begin work this fall on a planned store at the southeast corner of Forevergreen and Crosspark roads near Coralville's border with North Liberty.
